Principal's Corner

My name is Mrs. Tamara Winston, and I am thrilled to be the principal of Southlawn Elementary School. It is with great pleasure that I come to you with greetings from the entire faculty and staff at Southlawn Elementary School.

I am beginning my fourteenth year as an administrator for Montgomery Public Schools, and I am proud to serve this community to embark on this endeavor.

Every school year represents a fresh start for our students to do their very best, to learn new things and to soar academically. Teachers strive to help students pursue their dreams and reach their fullest academic potential, especially with help from you. Parents and guardians, the first teachers of our students, can make sure every child, from the youngest to the oldest, gets to school on time, attends school every day and completes all assignments including homework.

Together, we can ensure all students realize their highest potential. Specific goals for this school year include: substantially increasing the percentage of students who have between a 96 percent attendance rate and perfect attendance; significantly increasing the number of students who are proficient in Reading; and boosting the number of students who are proficient in Math. These and other targets are the building blocks to greater academic success.

We feel that open and clear communication between school and home is important to the success of our educational program. Southlawn Elementary School's parents are our partners in the important job of educating the children of this community. Working together, we will be able to reach our collective and individual goals. We will work diligently to coordinate parental involvement, community partnerships, and school resources to benefit all children.

Come and see us to learn more about our wonderful school. Call the office if you have any questions or need to schedule a conference at (334) 284-8028. We will be glad to assist you!
